Filters

Users are able to filter their view of the actions that have been performed by opening the Add filter dropdown list and selecting the column they want to filter by. This allows for customisation of the user activity display for easier managing and understanding of user activity.


Column

Explanation

Date

The options to filter the users view of actions by date include: 

  • Since last login - Allows users to display only the actions that have been performed since last time that the user logged in to the system.

  • In last - Allows users to specify by typing the number of days prior to the current date that should be included in the display.

  • In next - This option cannot be used here and appears only because the date filter is utilised across multiple components of Platform.

  • Before - Allows users to select a specific date from a calendar to display only the actions performed before that date.

  • After - Allows users to select a specific date from a calendar to display only the actions performed after that date.

  • On - Allows users to select a specific date from a calendar to display only the actions performed on that exact date.

  • Between - Allows users to select a start and end date from a calendar to display only the actions performed between those dates.

User

Users can filter their view of actions by the user that performed the action.

This option opens a list of the users registered on the system which can be selected using a checkbox to filter the view to display only the actions performed by the selected users.



Action


Users can filter their view of actions by the recorded type of action. 

This option opens a list of the types of actions that Platform records which can be selected using a checkbox to filter the view to only those actions.

The full list of action types recorded by Platform can be found in the Action section of the User activity table above.


Project

Users can filter their view of the actions by project the project the action occurred in.

This option opens a list of the project names which can be selected by the user using a checkbox to filter their view to only actions performed within the selected projects.


Object

Users can filter their view by searching for a specific object ID.


Target

Users can filter their view of actions by the recorded Target. 

This option opens a list of the types of targets that Platform records which can be selected using a checkbox to filter the display to only actions recorded with the selected targets.

The full list of target types recorded by Platform can be found in the Target section of the User activity table above.


Action on Target

Users can filter their view of actions by the recorded Action on object

This option opens a list of the types of actions on objects that Platform records which can be selected using a checkbox to filter the view to only those interactions.

The full list of actions on objects recorded by Platform can be found in the Action on object section of the User activity table above.

All filters also include a blank option which can be selected using the checkbox to remove the project filter. 

Additionally, all filters include the option to Reverse all selections. This means that if, for example, a user wants to exclude a particular project from their search then rather than selecting all other projects so that the filter doesn't show the one to be excluded, they can simply select the project to be excluded and then use the Reverse all selections feature so Platform  automatically produce a display of all projects except for the selected project.
